I don't believe in any of that kind of stuff, but a weird thing happened to my brother that I've had a hard time explaining.
 
	When I was 5 and he was 3, my dad and uncle bought a farm with a building site, barns, and relatively new (compared to the place we were living) prefab ranch house.  We moved into the house shortly thereafter.  It had been owned by an old bachelor who had died a couple years prior and it took his nieces and nephews time to sort it all out.  So this dude actually died before my brother was born.
 
	Within a few months, my brother started telling my mom that he would talk to the ghost of Otto Bartz (that was the guy's name) at night when he couldn't sleep.  My mom asked my brother asked who Otto Bartz was and my brother said "well he used to live here" (a detail my brother would not have been aware of at the time) and then he went on to perfectly describe the guy, right down to the psuedo uniform he was always seen wearing.  Again, my brother had never actually seen this man alive and it wasn't like we had his picture hanging up.
 
	My guess is somehow, somewhere, his likeness was pointed out to my brother unbeknownst to my folks but it's always seemed weird to me.
